I love Bagley’s work. His Thunderbolts was so much fun! Love that series!

At the same convention Roy had the chance to meet Dan Jolley and Jamal Igle too! Sounds like a Firestorm-filled show to me! While there I imagine Roy was hunting for another copy of the variant cover to Fury of Firestorm #61 from 1987. After all, he’s only got nine copies so far. Seriously.

Quit goofing around on the internet. Go read Justice League 3000 #5 in stores today! This is Firestorm’s big debut in the 31st century! Or as I’m calling him, Firestorm 3000!

DeMatteis, with art by Raymund Bermudez and Wayne Faucher, and a cover by Howard Porter. Below you’ll find a few pages from the preview!

Check out this awesome birthday cake for Match-head Gethin Arfon Schofield! It was created by Ruth’s Cakes of Anglesey and was delicious according to the birthday boy! Gethin stated that Firestorm was the first superhero he liked. For years he only had issue #53. Hopefully he’s found a few more Firestorm comics since then! Happy belated birthday, Gethin!

Drunkula has a unique, and quite possibly psychotic, sense of humor. To completely mess with his reader’s minds, and my own, he switched-up his site. I stumbled across this change while reading a Google Alert for the term “Firestorm Fan”. At first I didn’t realize what I was reading. I thought it was a reference to my own site. Upon the third reading I realized something was desperately amiss. Below is a screen shot of his blog as it appeared on April Fool’s Day! To sell the prank, Drunkula wrote a full-on review of Firestorm v3 #3. That’s dedication! You can still read the post by clicking here (be sure to check the comments).

Too funny! I was laughing hysterically at Drunkula’s April Fool’s Day fun! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! I’ll take that! Be sure to check out site on a regular basis. It’s full of fun reviews, great images, and hilarious action figure funnies.

Drunkula wasn’t alone in his April Fool’s Day hijinks! Anj over at the Supergirl-themed blog, Comic Box Commentary, also jumped in the fun. He re-dressed his site as a Nightshade blog, stating he was fed up with Supergirl. Below is a screen shot of his blog as it appeared on April Fool’s Day! You can still read the post by clicking here (be sure to check the comments on this one too).

Be sure to also visit Anj’s site on a regular basis. He does an excellent job covering Supergirl in all her various forms (classic, New 52, Power Girl, etc).

Check out this cool Firestorm sketch by The New 52: Futures End artist, Patrick Zircher! He’s currently slated to draw issues #1 & #6 of the upcoming weekly series. Last Friday on Twitter Patrick asked for suggestions of a DC character to do as a warm-up sketch. Thanks to Tom Brennan, fellow match-head Doug Zawisza, and myself, we swung the vote to the Nuclear Man!

As always, thanks to my co-host Rob Kelly, Sea King of THE AQUAMAN SHRINE, for doing all the post-production on these episodes! Opening theme, “That Time is Now,” by Michael Kohler. Special thanks to Daniel Adams and Ashton Burge with their band The Bad Mamma Jammas for our fantastic original closing theme! This episode brought to you in part by InStockTrades.com!
